Today's Visit [Il Pavone, Asbury Park]

My husband and I visited this establishment this afternoon and all I can say is that we were very disappointed. The gelato did not taste fresh, it was not creamy and it was expensive. We don't mind paying for a smaller size if the quality is good. We had the small cup which is about the "kiddie" size that my 4 year old grandson would eat. The price was 8.99 for two cups. The portion wasn't even a real "scoop". There were no other customers. You'd think they'd try to keep those that do visit their store. We won't go back.

I was surprised to hear this. I just got the recent issue of Monmouth Health and Life with the Best of's and this place was mentioned several times. has anyone else that has been there care to elaborate/

If that publication is anything like many others, their 'Best Of" lists are fairly useless--and often tied to advertisers.Fwiw I haven't been, but I've heard from friends who spend a lot of time in AP that the gelato at this place was awful AND expensive.
